TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL.
How Miss Maude Banks Strikes
the Critics.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 14.-NIiss Maude
Banks, daughter of Gen. N. P. Banks.
of Massachusetts, has just closed a sue
cessful week at Albaugh'S Grand Opera
house. The audiences during the first
three evenings of the week were large,
enthusiastic and approving i'll their
smiles and demonstrations. Miss Banks
is an amateur, in fact, although assum-
ing the role of a professional. She has
talent, real ability, no little beauty, and
evinceS the genius which triumphs over
all obstacles, the genius of labor. She
has been careful and painStaking
student. Her reading of the lines, not
infrequently, is the reading of school
girl. They are well read, but formal
and self-cOnsciouS. The lady has an
excellent voice, which has been carefully
trained. The OrOtund tones are cult
vated, evidently, and are under better
control than women usually attain.
Lawrence Barrett is most deficient in
that respect, and always will be, be-
cause of an unfortunate beginning as
an elocutionist. Miss Banks has enough
ability and energy to warrant the pre-
dictiOn that she will attain measure of
success far above mediOcrity. 1t is too
soon, however, to predict triumphal
march into the hearts of the pleasure
seekers of the entire land.s

adult persons. Entrymen have,
therefore, never been required to
STATE that they were of an age to make
them capable in law to enter into con-
tracts. There is reason to bell eve that
mineral entries have been made in, the
names OF infants, i'll fact, as well as by
lnfants-in-law. The exhaustion of sur
face deposits has rendered the provisions
OF law, authorizing placer mineral en-
tries, of little or no present or prospect
i've utility. These provisions, and the
provisions for mill-Site entries, are per-
Verted to the seizure of town sites and
municipal improvements, and for fraud
ulently securing monopoly of water
rights in arid regions. Both are made
the instruments of abuse, and neither
serve any good public purpose. Both
should be repealed. The commissioner
recommends
A CONSIDERABLE INCREASE
In the force of his office. He asks for
twenty additional special examiners. a
careful computation of the additional
force needed to bring up work in ar
rearS and to keep up with the increasing
current business of the Office calls for
an addition of 159 regular and 112 tenn
porary clerks, an increase of 40 perma-
nent clerks and employees. This
keep the work going. The enlarged
force estimated for is needed to bring
up work in arrears. The report con-
cludes as follows: There has been no
period since 1870 or earlier when the
clerical force of the general land office
was equal or nearly equal to the work
before it. The time has come when it
Is absolutely essential that more ade-
quate provisions be made. 1t is my
duty to represent truthfully to congress
the needs of the Office and to leave with
that body the responsibility of provid-
ing or refusing the necessary means 10
carry Oh this important branch of the
public service.
The only surveying contracts made
during the year
IN DAKOTA
were of lands for allotment to Indians
within the lower Brule reservation.
Forty townships were surveyed under
contracts OF former years. There have
been many applications by settlers for
surveys in Dakota but in view of the
limited appropriation, the sum of $500
only could be appOrtioned to that dis
trlct for the current fiscal year. In
Minnesota there remain $50 unsurveyed
townships of public lands and 175 town
ships of Indian reservations. The de-
velOpment of fraudulent returns of
swamp lands in surveys heretofore
made, render thorough examination of
such lands in this state a matter of
Importance to the government and to
the settlers. The progress in office
work on agricultural surveys in Mon
tana was small, owing to the totally in
sufficient appropriation for clerk hire
for 1887. The surveyor general of Mon
tana declines to make any recommends
tion for further surveys in his district,
believing it necessary that provision be
made for office work Oh surveys already
contracted for before deciding upon ad-

He Will Be Made a Justice OF
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-According to the
most excellent authority, speculation
over the Successorship to the seat on the
bench of the United States supreme
court, made vacant by the death of JUS
tice Woods, of Louisiana. may as well
end, for l.. Q. G. Lamar, secretary Of the
interior. has been selected for the place.
Ever since Louisiana came into the
Union II has been represented in this
court. The law of that state is. in some
respects, peculiar. 1t is the old civil
and canon law. Trials are held before
notaries, and the system and customs Of
legal procedure. while conforming in
general features to national conditions,
are directly descended from French
origin and retain many of fhe old pecul-
larlties. As Louisiana lawyers are the
only persons who are supposed to under
stand the laws OF that state. it has
been the custom to keep one of them
always OH the highest bench That
explains the urgency and multiplicity
of candidates from that quarter. 1t is
felt there that the president cannot dis
regard the tradition which his predeces-
sors unfailingly observed. According
to the authority upon which the an
nouncement of Secretary Lamar's Sc
lection is based. the president is not
impressed with the necessity of looking
to Louisiana for new justice. He
feels that that the state will be quite as
well protected by resident of an adj
Joining state. and that Mr. Lamar's ap-
pointlnent will be more widely accept
able than that of anV man whom he
might choose from Louisiana. The
matter is said to have gone so far that
the appointment has been rendered to
MI. Lamar. who has consented to ac-
cept it. He is already arranging his
affairs with view to the promised
change in his official position. The ap-
pointment is likely TO be formally an
nounced by a nomination quite early in
the session of the senate.

Looks ON With Good Deal of
Curiosity. -, e. 81
There is no doubt the other roads rum
ring between st. Paul and Chicago are
very greatly disturbed by the low rate
ON freight made 10y the Minnesota d
Northwestern. Several meetings have
been held to see what can be done about
the matter. The special complaint now
formulated is that the Minnesota &
Northwestern is demoraliZing the Iowa
rates. The intimatiOn is now plainly
declared that unless the new road
showed more regard for the integrity of
established tariffs, retaliatory measures
would be taken which will bring down
the net revenues of the Minnesota IL
Northwestern to a minimum. That road
and others, especially the Chicago Il
Northwestern, say must be made to
know the difference between legitimate
and illegitimate competition, or suffer
the consequences. This is strong
threat, but it SO happens that the Min
nesota IL Northwestern people say they
are in position to wait with curiosity
only for this threat to be put into eXecu-
ton. They claim to be carrying very
great deal
MORE THAN THEIR SHARE
Of the freight between st. Paul and Chi
cago. A few days ago the GLOBE gave
chapter of the inside history of
meeting held in Chicago. at which a res
olutiOn was offered. the purport of
which was that all the roads agreed to
boycott the Minnesota IL Northwestern
for cutting rates. 1t was representa-
tive, substantially, of the Chicago 81
Northwestern road that caused the de-
feaG of that resolution. He saw at
giace that the adoption of such resolu-
ton would throw the freight to the Min
nesota & Northwestern in large. This
gentleman that defeated that resolution
at the Chicago meeting was afterwards
informed by the president of the Mime
sofa Il Northwestern road that che re-
GREETED the defeat Of the resolution, and
would give the other roads check for a
thousand dollars if they would pass it.
The greatest fear that the Minnesota IL
Northwestern has, is that they will not
boycott it.
